Summary

When Rosalen Maldonado tinkers with the derelict freighter, she's just hoping to prove she deserves a scholarship to University. She certainly doesn't count on waking the ship's damaged AI or having three stowaways, Micah Rotherwood and brothers Jem and Barre Durbin, along for the ride. They all have their private reasons for hiding aboard and lives they are seeking to escape, but if the accidental crew can't work together and learn to trust each other, they'll die together, victims of a computer that doesn't realize the war ended decades before any of them were even born.

Well read but poorly written

The reader did a good job of breathing life into this book but there were some craft issues that were still fairly clear. Characters acted from the demands of the plot rather than from internally consistent motives. Plot arcs were tangled and in some cases repetitive. While the overall story arc related to character development rather than plot (and credit where credit is due; this is a rarity in space opera), in the end I was left with a feeling that the characters could have liberated themselves before the events of the story and that nothing had really happened. Overall, I found this unsatisfying.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
